Ringmahon House is a 19th-century house in the Mahon and Blackrock area of Cork in Ireland.[1] Built c. 1820 by James Murphy (of Murphy's Brewery),[2] the house was owned by Ben Dunne (of Dunnes Stores) in the mid-20th century. As of the 21st century, the house is owned by Cork City Council and is used as a school by Mahon Youthreach.[3]
The grounds of Ringmahon House contain the former gate tower of an earlier castle.[4] The remains of this structure, known as Ringmahon Castle,[4] are included in the Record of Protected Structures maintained by Cork City Council.[5]
